The entire world loves a lover… This is the story of Arjmad Banu and the love she enthused. Niece of the beautiful Noor Jehan, wife of the Mogul Emperor Jehangir met Prince Khurram, Jehangir’s son, when she was just fourteen years old, in the Red Fort at Agra. Cupid struck the two young royals. They did get married in 1612 but soon after, the Prince rebelled against his father and left Agra. She supported her husband at every step and followed him in his self-imposed exile. Just before Jehangir’s death (1627), father and son reconciled. Prince Khurram was crowned Emperor with the name Shah Jehan (Ruler of the World) and Arjmad Banu was named Mumtaz Mahal (Crown of the Palace). As was her custom, she continued to accompany her husband everywhere, even during his military expeditions. During one such expedition against the rebellious Deccan governor in 1631, Mumtaz Mahal died in childbirth. The 39 years old Emperor was devastated. Unable to bear his loss, he decided to build a memorial for his beloved that was unparalleled. Construction began the very same year. Such was Shah Jehan’s passion to obtain ultimate perfection that 20,000 people worked night and day for 22 years to achieve it.

Fatehpur Sikri was Akbar's capital for approximately 12 years. Akbar selected Sikri as the seat of his government believing it to be auspicious for himself. He experimented both with architecture and art and built a city expressing his ideals and vision. Today, Fatehpur Sikri is a deserted, phantom city. But the inner citadel is immaculately preserved. The finest monuments within this area are the Diwan-i-Am, Diwan-i-Khas, Panch Mahal, Buland Darwaza and the tomb of Saint Sheikh Salim Chishti, and the Jama Masjid (one of the largest mosques In India).

At a short distance of 11 Kms. From Jaipur, the Amer Fort complex stands amidst wooded hills overlooking the Delhi-Jaipur highway, with its forbidding ramparts reflected in the still waters of the Maota Lake below. One of the finest examples of Rajput architecture, it was the ancient capital of the Kachhawah rulers. The original palace was built by Raja Man Singh and additions were made later by Sawai Jai Singh.  

Within the palace are the Diwan-e-Aam or the "Hall of Public Audience", the Diwan-e-Khas or the "Hall of Private Audience" and the Sukh Niws where a cool breeze blows across channels of water for the purpose of air-conditioning. Here are the private chambers of the queens with windows having latticed screens so that the ladies could watch the proceedings of the royal court in privacy. There is also the Jai Mandir or the "Temple of Victory", with its famed Sheesh Mahal, the scintillating "Hall of Mirrors".

Mumbai (AKA Bombay) is where the glamour of Bollywood is, cricket on the fields, bhelpuri on the beach at Chowpatty and red double-decker buses are.
An island connected by bridges to the mainland, Mumbai is the industrial center of everything, from textiles to petrochemicals, and is responsible for half of India’s foreign trade.

 What you will explore here is a prosperous 19th century English industrial city on the edge of the Arabian Sea with a brimming nightlife, a vital street life and more markets than you can ever explore.

The main part of the city is concentrated at the Southern claw-shaped end of the island. The Southern peninsula known as Colaba is where you would be attracted, since it houses a considerable number of hotels and restaurants and two of the city’s best landmarks, the Gateway of India and the Taj Mahal Hotel. Directly north of Colaba, you would find the, area known as Fort, the very place where the old British fort once stood. Moving further west, you would reach Marine Drive, which connects the industrial Center Back Bay to the famous Chowpatty Beach. To the north are the suburbs of Greater Mumbai, where you’ll also find the two airports—Sahar International and the domestic Santa Cruz.

Mumbai—ancient yet modern, spectacularly rich, yet glaringly poor, soaring skyscrapers and sprawling slums—it is truly a melting pot of diverse ethnicity.
